Bronchial Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma in a Child: A Case Report and Technical Considerations
Bronchial mucoepidermoid carcinoma in children is rare, often presenting with nonspecific respiratory symptoms, causing diagnostic delays. Complete surgical excision is the primary treatment, with excellent outcomes for low-grade tumors. Pediatric considerations include minimizing anastomotic tension and preserving lung function. The prognosis is favorable with low recurrence after R0 resection.
